Despite shooting under 40% from the court, KCP's TS% is league average. The power of shooting threes (even inefficiently) and free throws.

Great game last night. After a truly wretched start to the season, over his last five games, he's put up: 12.8/3.2/1/1 on .413/.440/.938 in 21.5 minutes a game. Decent volume (9 fga, 5 3pa, 3.2 fta).

Looking more spry and active too. Had such low energy level to start the year.

yeah his defense has picked up. much better job tagging shooters and rotating onto cutters. he's definitely getting after it. I think he can be a big part of a winning team, he really helps shore up whatever line up he is in. Between him and hart, we can easily get 48 quality minutes (good shooting and D) from the SG position every night.

and lets remember that he was pivotal in crunch time last game. IM not sure, other than lebron, who can do that consistently other than him.
edit, and i should say, even lebron is going to brick his fts, not kcp. ive been really concerned about our fanbase always trashing guys like kcp, nick, lou, etc...and now he's the ONLY good ft shooter left on this team.

Regression to the mean was inevitable, although I'll admit I was starting to have my doubts.

“Good” KCP is pretty valuable to this team. Becomes a key rotation guy.

Glad KCP is rounding up to good form. It will be possible to trade him in December along with Zo and Ingram for Beal

Rondo
Beal
Lebron
Kuzma
Mcgee

Hart
Lance
Svi
Beasley
Chandler

Shooting 93% free throws and getting better every game from 3 and decision making. Might be a good idea to start closing with him.

He’s streaky so he will disappear again at some point. Play him when he’s hot, sit him when he’s not . Same mantra with Stevenson.

So because he's "streaky" we should play more consistent below average players... hm

Most NBA players are streaky to a degree. He was just way off the beginning of the year. He is pretty good when open.

For me, streaky players are the best for starting specially if you have Lebron. KCP, if hot + Lebron gives you a 10+ point lead in the first quarter.

Lakers are not getting Beal, they will get KD or Klay. Tobias or Cousins if he comes back to 100.

If he is streaky, that four month streak of unreal shooting last year is one of the best streaks I've seen.

If you look through the boards you will see that I was one. People wanted to trade him three games into the season. It really was ridiculous.
